Lyrics"Home Flags Still Fly" -- Yves Stilmant © 2025[Verse 1a] The plane touched down in a golden haze Crowd was cheering, hands were raised But not every heart came back the same Some are smiling, some still feel the pain [Verse 1b] He dropped his bag, kissed the ground Mama's tears fell without a sound A folded flag for the friend he lost Another family's paying the cost [Pre-Chorus] Some come home to open arms Some to silence, some to scars [Chorus] ?? Home flags still fly, high in the sky For those who came home, and those who died We won't forget, we won't ask why We hold 'em close -- home flags still fly ?? [Verse 2a] Kids don't understand what Daddy's seen He walks the porch, but he's caught in a dream She holds him close, but feels him drift Trying to mend what war can split [Verse 2b] And on the edge of town, a quiet grave With flowers that bloom and names we brave Their stories told in candlelight We keep their memories burning bright [Pre-Chorus] They gave their all, now it's our turn To carry the fire, let the candles burn [Chorus] ?? Home flags still fly, high in the sky For those who came home, and those who died We won't forget, we won't ask why We hold 'em close -- home flags still fly ?? [Bridge] So raise a glass, and bow your head To the living hearts and the honored dead Freedom's price is paid in full By the brave, the proud, the beautiful [Final Chorus] (with gang vocals or harmonies) ?? Home flags still fly, high in the sky For those who came home, and those who died We won't forget, we won't ask why We hold 'em close -- home flags still fly ?? [Outro] Let 'em fly high...
